National Froyo Day 2026 Recap

 

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Frozen Yogurt Day! I went to the two places with the best NFYD deals, Menchie’s and Yogurtland. Both shops were extremely busy (the line was out the door). Both had NFYD signs.

Menchie’s had a BOGO free deal today, with double points when you scan your app from Feb. 7 – 13. I went to the Menchie’s in Eagle Rock. The froyo was so icy that I had to throw it away. I should have gone to Menchie’s in Burbank or Valley Village.

Yogurtland had the buy one froyo, get one free offer AND double points for Real Rewards members. I went to the one in Eagle Rock. The Super Tart flavor is so good. I also picked up some Valentine’s sticker sheets.

Pinkberry didn’t have an NFYD offer this year.

I’m glad that most shops now celebrate NFYD and IFYD on February 6. It took a few years for this to happen.

National Froyo Day Recap

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Froyo Day! What a day!

It started yesterday at Pinkberry, since Pinkberry’s National Froyo Day BOGO free offer for Pinkcard members was from Feb. 4 – 6. I went to the Pinkberry in Los Feliz, and the employee knew about the offer. I didn’t see any NFYD signs. I got another cup of Yuzu Meringue froyo, the seasonal flavor, and Pomegranate froyo. The Yuzu Meringue froyo is nice but not as tangy as most of their tart flavors.

Today, 2/6, I went to Yogurtland Eagle Rock in the early afternoon because they had matcha froyo. Love matcha froyo. I also appreciate how Yogurtland announced the NFYD deal, BOGO free, weeks in advance. And they had one small NFYD sign at the shop.

In the afternoon, I went to Menchie’s Valley Village for the BOGO free offer. Menchie also was there at the top of the hour (every hour) for a meet and greet. Or at least I think he was? I waited for ten minutes at 5 PM and didn’t see Menchie. But, I was happy that Valley Village had the February featured flavors, peanut butter gelato and Hershey’s Kisses. And they had multiple NFYD signs. 

I thought it would also be interesting to look back at NFYD in 2015. Back in 2015, Yogurtland celebrated NFYD on Feb. 2. They had free mini froyos, two new froyo flavors (York Peppermint Pattie and Hershey's Chocolate Milkshake), new toppings (York Peppermint Patties Minis and Hershey's Mini Kisses), free froyo, and a limited edition Hershey's collectible spoon. Menchie’s celebrated NFYD on February 6 with 6 oz of free froyo. Those were the good old froyo days!

National Frozen Yogurt Day Report

 

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National/International Frozen Yogurt Day! It’s one of my favorite days of the year, of course, and I usually have froyo for lunch on NFYD. I actually had a dream about froyo spoons yesterday, NFYD Eve, and had difficulty sleeping due to the excitement of the big day.

On NFYD 2024, I had a choice between BOGO free at Forty Carrots, Menchie’s, Yogurtland, and Pinkberry and a 20% off offer at Yoga-urt.

My first stop was at Pinkberry in Silver Lake for the BOGO free deal. I didn’t have any issues redeeming the offer, though I didn’t see any NFYD signs inside the shop. They also announced the NFYD at the last minute (again). However, the NFYD deal is the best Pinkberry deal all year.

Yogurtland was so crowded last NFYD that there was a long line and they ran out of many toppings, so I went earlier and there wasn’t a line. Also, the toppings bar was well-stocked. The rain might have also had something to do with the absence of a crowd. Yogurtland’s NFYD 2024 offer is a buy one, get one free froyo deal for in-store purchases AND double points for Real Rewards members.

I picked up more of the Yogurtland heart sticker sheets and tried the new heart gummy topping. The heart candies are cherry-flavored.

I also stopped by Menchie’s which had a BOGO free froyo deal, but I didn’t see the February flavors, so I decided to go to Menchie’s another day. Menchie’s is offering double points when you scan the Menchie’s app from 2/7 – 2/20/24.

I can’t understand any froyo shop that doesn’t acknowledge and celebrate National/International Frozen Yogurt Day.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

National/International Frozen Yogurt Day Recap

 

Yogurtland BOGO free 

line at Yogurtland Pasadena, NFYD 2023

Pinkberry BOGO free

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National/International Frozen Yogurt Day! It's the biggest day of the year for froyo. Most shops had some type of buy one, get one deal. 

My first stop was at Pinkberry for the BOGO free deal. The new Ruby Chocolate tart froyo is so good! And they had the new ruby chocolate drizzle too. It tastes more like berries than chocolate. I noticed the Pinkberry shop didn’t have any NFYD signs. They also announced the NFYD offer at the last minute. Disappointing but the NFYD deal is the best Pinkberry deal all year.

In the evening I went to Yogurtland for the BOGO free, triple points offer (the same offer as in 2022). There was a small NFYD sign, very understated compared to previous years. But they announced NFYD a few weeks ago and sent multiple messages about it. I was surprised by how long the line was – haven’t seen a line like that for NFYD since before the pandemic, back when Yogurtland offered free froyo. Most of the people in line were with friends and they looked like they were in high school or college. There were a few couples and few families. They looked happy. Yogurtland was so busy that the toppings bar was a mess and they ran out of some toppings.

Menchie’s had a BOGO free deal as well but Yogurtland had a better deal with the additional triple points offer.

National/International Frozen Yogurt Day 2022 Festivities

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National/International/World Frozen Yogurt Day! Menchie’s celebrated early, on February 3, but almost everyone else celebrated NFYD on February 6. The National Frozen Yogurt Day celebration is BACK at Yogurtland this year after a one-year hiatus. NFYD felt more national this year because not as many froyo shops outside the US celebrated IFYD. And most shops offered a BOGO free this year.

My first stop was at Pinkberry for the I just went the BOGO free offer. I’m loving the new Limoncello flavor, so I got another cup of that and a cup of original tart. The Pinkberry shop didn’t have any NFYD signs. Later, I went to Yogurtland which had a small NFYD sign on the counter. Their offer was different this year: BOGO free and triple reward points. I got two cups of Madagascar Vanilla froyo with chocolate shell and cookies. I also had enough points to earn a free froyo reward. Yay! Nice way to end of the day.

Menchie’s 2022 NFYD Celebration 2022 & New Featured Flavors for February

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Frozen Yogurt Day (which is officially on February 6), round 1. Menchie’s chose to celebrate NFYD on February 3 this year, which actually makes it easier for me (less froyo to eat on 2/6). This year, Menchie’s is offering a buy one, get one free deal all day on February 3 and double points. I visited Menchie’s El Monte because they had one of the new featured flavors, Berry Ruby Chocolate. I’ll have to look for the other featured flavor, Frosted Cookie, later.

Berry Ruby Chocolate froyo: I’ve been wondering about ruby chocolate for awhile now. Ruby chocolate is a new variety of chocolate that was introduced by Barry Callebaut, the cocoa company, in 2017. The chocolate is naturally pink in color and made with ruby cacao beans. While it’s made without berries, it tastes like a berry flavored white chocolate. As for Menchie’s new Berry Ruby Chocolate froyo, it tastes like raspberries and strawberries muted by white chocolate. They make it with real ruby chocolate. I’m shocked it’s not made with any berries. I liked how it wasn’t as sweet. There was a hint of tang. The texure was smooth and creamy. It’s lowfat, gluten-free, and made with no artificial colors or artificial flavors. Recommended toppings: white chocolate chips, strawberries, raspberries, and Nilla wafers.

It was very busy at Menchie’s today (during NFYD) – a good sign!

More NFYD/IFYD events are occurring this week, mostly on Sunday, February 6. Check IFYA’s post for the most comprehensive list of NFYD/IFYD offers.

National/International Frozen Yogurt Day 2020 Report

Fro-yo girl here. Do you look forward to National/International Frozen Yogurt Day all year like I do? If only I could eat more froyo in one day. NFYD (February 6) is always a busy day. I started the day with a strawberry Greek frozen yogurt parfait bar from Trader Joe’s. It was a seasonal (summer) product. I hope they bring it back this year.

Around lunch time, I went to Pinkberry in Los Feliz (Los Angeles) for the BOGO free special. There was no NFYD signage but they did know about and honor the NFYD offer.

Later, I stopped by Menchie’s in Glendale for the NFYD BOGO free offer. There were various NFYD signs up. I was able to try the new froyo flavor, Frosted Animal Cookie but they weren’t serving the other new flavor, Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. I wasn’t given a coupon for a return visit.

Finally, I visited Yogurtland Eagle Rock (Los Angeles) for their IFYD free froyo event. There was a short line outside the door. The event was organized, with a limited number of people allowed into the shop. We were given sample cups and a 5 oz IFYD cup from 2017. There was no IFYD spoon or new flavors for IFYD. But we could take as much froyo and toppings as long as they fit in the cup. The toppings selection was limited; I’ve never seen that before on IFYD at Yogurtland. Guests received $1 off Yogurtland coupons. 

I heard that Yogurtland Hayward had zero IFYD offers. Sad! I had a feeling that might happen.

I had the impression that NFYD/IFYD celebrations were toned down this year. But with all the free froyo, I can’t complain. I’ve got plenty in the freezer for the Academy Awards, Saturday night movie night, etc.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

National/International Frozen Yogurt Day 2019 Recap

Fro-yo girl here. Lots of frozen yogurt shops used to celebrate National Frozen Yogurt Day on different days in early February. But, lately everyone has been celebrating NFYD on February 6. This makes NFYD very hectic for me.

Stop #1: Menchie’s – For NFYD, Menchie's had a BOGO offer good all day and two new feature flavors: Cookies N Crème made with Hershey’s Cookies n Crème Bar and Oreo Peanut Butter Cookie made with Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies.

Oreo Peanut Butter Cookie froyo: This was a nice balance of chocolate and peanut butter flavors, with a creamy texture. Recommended toppings: Oreos, peanut butter sauce, chocolate chips, and peanuts.

Cookies N Crème froyo made with Hershey’s Cookies N Crème bar: This was a milder version of I Dream of Cookies & Cream. It had more crème and less chocolate. It’s mild enough to pair with most toppings. Recommended toppings: Andes Mints, chocolate chips, Oreos

I also received a BOGO coupon good between 2/7/19 – 2/28/2019.

Stop #2: Yogurtland – Yogurtland’s eighth IFYD celebration featured a BOGO free offer good from 2 PM – 7 PM today, two featured flavors, and two new toppings. There was no special cup or special spoon. No coupon was provided for a return visit.

Chocolate Toffee Bar froyo made with Heath Bar frozen yogurt – This was nice if you’re looking for a coffee toffee flavor that’s mild, sweet, and creamy. Recommended toppings: chocolate shell, almonds, Hershey’s® Cookies ’N’ Crème Popped Snack Mix.

Peanut Butter Cup froyo made with Hershey’s® Cocoa and Reese’s® Peanut Butter frozen yogurt – This flavor had a stronger peanut butter flavor than Menchie’s Oreo Peanut Butter Cookie froyo. You can still taste the chocolate though. Recommended toppings: Peanut butter sauce, peanut butter chips, Nutter Butter cookies.

The new toppings are so good! Hershey’s® Cookies ’N’ Crème Popped Snack Mix has tiny . Combining Hershey’s® Cookies ’N’ Crème Bars, mini chocolate cookies, mini pretzels, and chocolate-drizzled popcorn. It’s crunchy, sweet, creamy, with a lot going on. I also love how Reese’s Creamy Peanut Butter Chips adds more peanut butter flavor.

I thought about going to Pinkberry, but they didn’t have any NFYD signs, though they were offering BOGO free today.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Less Than a Week Until National/International Frozen Yogurt Day

Fro-yo girl here. If I had to choose my favorite day of the year, I’d have to pick either National/International Frozen Yogurt Day on Wednesday, February 6 or Halloween. NYFD/IFYD is such a joyful day – with free froyo and people enjoying froyo.

The big chains, Yogurtland and Menchie’s, are offering a buy one, get one free deal on Feb. 6. No coupon is necessary. The BOGO offer is good all day at Menchie’s and from 2 PM – 7 PM at Yogurtland. The Menchie’s poster for NYFD doesn’t mention any featured flavors, toppings, special cups, or special spoons. The Yogurtland poster shows two feature flavors: Peanut Butter Cup made with Hershey’s Cocoa & Reese’s Peanut Butter and Chocolate Toffee Bar made with Heath. There will also be two featured toppings: Reese's peanut butter chips, Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme popped snack mix.

For updates of International/National Frozen Yogurt Day celebrations, check out the list from the International Frozen Yogurt Association: http://internationalfrozenyogurt.com/news/national-international-frozen-yogurt-day-2019/

I’ll share my pictures of my NYFD/IFYD froyo after it’s over. I wonder how much froyo I’ll be able to eat.

National Frozen Yogurt Month 2017: Reflections on Frozen Yogurt Trends

Fro-yo girl here. It’s June which means it’s the 24th annual National Frozen Yogurt Month. The first National Frozen Yogurt Month was declared by TCBY. National Frozen Yogurt Day is the first Sunday in June, or June 4, 2017. It’s also the time of year that I like to look at frozen yogurt trends.

Looking at Google Trends, one sees the continual slow decline in the number of searches for the term, frozen yogurt. The peak occurred in July 2013. The number of searches for frozen yogurt shows a cyclical pattern, with fewer searches during the winter months and localized peaks in the summer months.

Interestingly, the number of searches for the term "Greek yogurt" also peaked in 2013 and have been declining since. The search pattern there is different because the number of searches peaks in January, when people are presumably thinking about New Year’s resolutions like eating healthier. The number of searches for the term acai bowl is definitely on the rise though more so in Australia than in the US.

It's interesting to look at the searches by region. The top 5 countries by interest in frozen yogurt are #1. United States, #2. Canada, #3. Denmark, #4. Greece and #5. Australia. These were also the top five countries last June though tiny Denmark (population 5.676 million) has overtaken Greece (population 10.82 million). The two most popular related queries were “yogurt near me” and “frozen yogurt near me.” Consumers are clearly looking for frozen yogurt shop locations. A couple of years ago, they were searching for Pinkberry but now they're searching for Menchie's.

Everyone that I’ve spoken to has mentioned the number of frozen yogurt store closures. I’ve seen many frozen yogurt stores that didn’t have anything unique to offer. Even some frozen yogurt chains lack personality. This is the time that the shops that survive should be sure that they have established a distinct brand identity and that they’ve actively cultivated the loyalty of their customers. It’s a good time to emphasize product quality and customer service. In the end, the places that I want to return to are the higher quality shops. I’d like to see healthier options (lower sugar) too. Places like Yoga-urt in Glendale, CA, Easy Breezy Frozen Yogurt in San Francisco, CA and Culture in New York that make frozen yogurt in small batches, from scratch.

International/National Frozen Yogurt Day 2017 Pictures

Fro-yo girl here. For the first time, frozen yogurt shops across the world celebrated International or National Frozen Yogurt Day, on the same day, February 6, 2017. It was a busy and happy day for me.

Almost all the major chains had International/National Frozen Yogurt Day specials and many independent shops celebrated as well. It was exciting to see pictures of people celebrating International Frozen Yogurt Day in Dubai, Australia and other parts of the world where IFYD occurs earlier than in the US.

Menchie’s had an all day buy one, get one free offer on Feb. 6 and two new flavors. I went to Menchie’s first. It was also the perfect opportunity to try their two new flavors for February, Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolate and Blackberry Burst. Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolate is made with real Hershey’s Kisses. Menchie’s Blackberry Burst is made with real blackberries and no artificial colors or flavors.

* Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolate: it didn’t taste that different from other milk chocolate froyo that I’ve had but the texture was creamy and smooth

* Menchie’s Blackberry Burst: this one’s made with “simply fruit” (not sure what that means – all natural?). It’s a froyo but the texture was icier and less milky for some reason. The fruit flavor wasn’t as tangy as I expected and it had a bitter aftertaste.

The Kiwi character spoon is back. I haven’t seen that design for a few years. In addition to today’s NYFD BOGO offer, guests also received a BOGO coupon that’s good from 2/7-2/28/2017.

My next stop was Yogurtland in the afternoon for their IFYD celebration from 4 PM – 7 PM. Yogurtland celebrated International Frozen Yogurt Day for the first time this year, with all its locations (including the ones outside of the US), celebrating the special day. Hershey’s was the co-sponsor of Yogurtland’s IFYD.

There were two promotional flavors, the classic Chocolate Milkshake (Mr. Froyo loves it) and the new Peanut Butter Cup. Both are made with Hershey’s ingredients. They also had Hersheys’ Mini Kisses and Reese’s Pieces as special limited time toppings.

Each guest received a 5 oz cup to fill up, a Hershey’s Yogurtland spoon (the chocolate bar one from years past) and a coupon for $1 off your next visit with a minimum purchase of $5.

One suggestion that I'd like to make is that Yogurtland should let Platinum card holders get their froyo first on IFYD, by giving them an hour before the general public to get their froyo. They could show their status by bringing their Platinum card or showing their Real Rewards app. This would be an easy way for Yogurtland to provide an extra perk to their most loyal customers.

Thank you Menchie’s, Yogurtland and all the froyo shops that celebrate International or National Frozen Yogurt Day!

I wish that the day were longer so that I could have gone to other froyo shops, but there’s only so much froyo that one can eat in one day.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Fifth Annual National Frozen Yogurt Day Celebration at Yogurtland

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve just returned from Yogurtland’s fifth NFYD celebration, featuring free froyo and toppings, the limited edition Hershey’s collectible spoon, and two Hershey’s flavors: Hershey’s Chocolate Milkshake and Peppermint Pattie. The line was long and people were excited about NFYD or free froyo (or both) but the line moved quickly because Yogurtland handled the line efficiently (moving chairs and tables out of the way, letting only a certain number in at a time, handing out cups to people in line, handing out spoons and coupons at the register).

The fifth NFYD celebration felt just like the fourth NFYD: same Hershey’s flavors, same co-sponsors, same spoons and even the cups looked the same.

The coupons were new though: 3 ounces off with a minimum purchase of $5 (or about 10-11 ounces worth).

Thanks to Yogurtland for all the NFYD goodies! Remember to return next Monday for Master Shifu’s Honey Graham froyo and spoon.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Menchie’s NFYD 2016

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s celebrated National Frozen Yogurt Day at its US locations on February 1, giving out free froyo (6 ounces per guest) from 4-7 PM. Plus they made the day even sweeter with 20% off coupons and two new limited time flavors: Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar, made with Nestle Butterfinger Pieces, and Chocolate Candy Bar, made with Nestle Crunch. 

The location that I visited had the new flavors. PB Chocolate Bar tastes just like Butterfinger, the peanut butter in Butterfinger has a distinct taste and that taste is in the frozen yogurt flavor. The texture was smooth. I liked how the pb flavor was stronger than the chocolate flavor. Chocolate Candy Bar froyo had a rich, deep chocolate taste and though I didn’t see the crisped rice, the flavor did have a different taste. I’m not a fan of chocolate froyo but this flavor was better than average. It didn’t taste like fudgsicle like most chocolate flavors do.

I topped my Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar froyo with Butterfinger and a brownie.

Thanks Menchie’s!!!

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Menchie’s Celebrates National Frozen Yogurt Day 2015

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s celebrated National Frozen Yogurt Day 2015 with 6 oz. of free froyo and toppings for guests from 4-8 PM. The employees had cute NFYD t-shirts on.

I tried one of the new froyo flavors for February, Spiced Chai Latte. Spiced Chai Latte is made “with a flavorful combination of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and cardamom to enlighten guests with notes of warmth and spice.” I love a good chai…this did not taste like chai. The spice blend didn’t make me think of chai and the tea flavor was absent. Plus the flavor was overly sweet and the texture was icy.

The other new flavor, Swiss Miss Classic Hot Chocolate was not available.

I didn’t receive a coupon for my next purchase, like I did last year. I was surprised that they didn’t increase staffing levels…it look a long time to make it to the register. There were only two employees present and they didn’t have guests form an orderly line. 

But...I love free froyo!

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yogurtland Celebrates National Frozen Yogurt Day on Feb. 2nd

Fro-yo girl here. There was so much going on at Yogurtland today; they really know how to celebrate National Frozen Yogurt Day. 

Limited edition spoons: This year’s chocolate bar inspired #YogurtlandNFYD limited edition collectible spoon looked like a had a Hershey’s Chocolate bar on the end. 

Two new flavors: Yogurtland developed two new flavors with partner, Hershey’s.

• York Peppermint Pattie: It really does taste like York Peppermint Pattie but the flavor isn’t too strong, too minty or too sweet, very nice. 
• Hershey’s Chocolate Milkshake: Yogurtland’s froyo is already creamy but this flavor seems extra creamy somehow. It’s rich, creamy but not heavy. The chocolate flavor isn’t overwhelming and it doesn’t taste like a fudgsicle (most chocolate froyo seems to taste like fudgsicles). It has a smoother, more mellow flavor. 

New toppings: To go with the Hershey’s froyo flavors, Yogurtland offered new toppings: York Peppermint Patties Minis and Hershey’s Mini Kisses. With all the excitement, I forgot to look for the new toppings. 

Also, today marked the return of several Fan Choice Awards winners:

• Best International: Geneva Chocolate 
• Best Caramel: Toasted Coconut Caramel 
• Best Sweet Tooth Treat: Rocket Pop Sorbet 
• Best Bakery: Birthday Cupcake Batter 

Free froyo and toppings: I opted for Plain Tart with an Oreo cookie disk, Fruity Pebbles and strawberries. Plus guests received a coupon for a future visit. Thanks Yogurtland!

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Menchie’s National Frozen Yogurt Day Celebration

Fro-yo girl here. Thanks Menchie’s for spreading the smiles today with free froyo for National Frozen Yogurt Day!

I didn’t see any NFYD signs. The Menchie’s team member had on a limited edition NFYD Menchie’s t-shirt. Some Menchie’s locations had contests and gave away these t-shirts.

I did get a coupon for 10% off from 2/7 - 2/14/2014 with the NYFD design.
